Health NewsFeed
is a fully digital medical audio news and text service. It's heard on
several hundred radio stations in the United States and Canada and overseas
through the Voice of America. Downloadable .wav files are posted at
this site and also by other Internet content providers.

Health NewsFeed
is produced in the Johns Hopkins Medicine Office of Communications and
Public Affairs.

Health NewsFeed
features 60-second radio news reports on medicine, including interviews
with Hopkins experts. It also offers "sound bites" of Hopkins
newsmakers for use by radio stations who wish to produce their own health
news programming.

Health NewsFeed
covers the broad spectrum of medicine, health and medical research.
Topics are chosen for their scientific importance but also for their
relevance to the lay public. Every Health NewsFeed strives to answer
the question "What does this mean to me, the listener?"

Health NewsFeed
features physicians, scientists and experts in all medical disciplines
talking about their work, their discoveries and the scientific advances
that will make the world a healthier place. Our interests range from
geriatrics to pediatrics and all points in between.

Health NewsFeed
is distributed by satellite and an innovative toll-free phone network
that provides CD-quality sound over ordinary telephone lines. The programs
are fed by satellite each Friday at 11 a.m. Eastern Time on USATCOM
C5, Transponder 23, SEDAT channel 12.

Stations equipped
with Switched 56 ISDN equipment can dial 1-800-MEDRADIO and be automatically
connected to the Health NewsFeed distribution system, which plays back
a full week's worth of programs for your production staff to record.
A dialup phone feed is available at 1-800-992-2010 or 410-614-9155.

Because of its flexibility
and unique design, Health NewsFeed will reach more radio listeners nationwide.
Since programmers are not tied to a specific feed time, they can retrieve
the feeds when they want them, and air them when their audiences need
them most.
